verbosity is my carnal sin, never use one word when ten bare suffices, language is the best tool for seduction yes, fingers are useful, tongues multi-purposed, eyes can flutter, tho silent only, the round and the serpentine curves are the inspiring arch of a cathedral, but all are in service to the ultimate truth: seduction is the art of the spoken, magic spells can use a wand, but to make love, to transit love, accept grace fully and great fully, to its delicious surrender, be persuaded, surrender, given into, gifted up, the sounds of the voice issuing its desires out loud, and the words of complete you need to be child~like, a grown up needs reminding: use your words! the words of atomic bomb duress, capitulate give in give (oneself) up yield concede submit climb down give way defer acquiesce back down cave in relent succumb quit crumble be beaten be overcome be overwhelmed fall victim, close down one's arms( raise/show the white flag throw in the towel/sponge accept total retreat concede defeat, yield, crumble, give in, cave in and up, be a~swayed forfeit the attraction of self-immolation , open your arms to my words surrender to my surrendering, this vow, spoken, crushes the will to resist, even a hey! a warning shot across the bow, attention must be paid…now, go practice in the nearest full length mirror…
